HOGS FOR MEAT.

The Southern Cultivatoris of opin-
ion that the hog should be regarded
and treated as an animal machine
tor the conversion of cheap vegetable
matter into more valuable pork
converting bulky and unstable pro
ducts into compact and readily mark
etable substances. A home market
Is thus secured for crops and much
waste matter on the farm. Instead
OF desiring that these machines NAV
consume as little raw material as
possible, the more they consume the
better, provided it is proftably con-
yerted into meat. BY arranging a
number OF lots, adapted in size to the
number OF swine to be kept, SO that
they will each open upon Bermuda
pasture from which swine NAV he
turned at will into any of the crops.
and to which they may be withdrawn
to prevent injury tc the land it wet
spells, a succession OF crops may be
grown, especially for their consump
ton, as follows: |. Rye to be grazed
in winter, allowed to seed, CLEANED
and followed by sweet potatoes. A
mixture of corn, peas, sweet potatoes
and decorticated cotton seed fed dur
ing the latter part Of winter and
spring with collard leaves to add to
the variety. ,. Oats to be gathered
by hogs and followed by speckled
peas. 3. Early planted speckled
peas to be gathered by hogs and fol-
lowed by fall oats or rye. 4. Early
crop OF sweet potatoes to be followed
by rye. D. Ground peas between
corn rows, both to be gathered by
hogs or the corn harvested for use
later. 9. Speckled peas between
rows of sorghum. I. Chufus for late
winter use-for stock hogs after fin
ishing up those to be butchered.
None Of these crops are costly-the
hogs do the harvesting and, together
with the usual small grain fields and
pea fields, will produce pork as cheap
ly as it can be grown anywhere
There is always home market fol
Southern smokehouse cured bacon
at prices above Western meat of the
same class. 1t would not necessaril,
exclude cotton from the farm, MOI
indeed should it do so, but it would
reduce the area and increase the pei
acreage production. Under proper
management the pork can be sold al
twice the cost of production, while
cotton often brings less than it costs
to produce it. Without intelligent
personal supervision neither this
lor any other agricultural enter
prise will succeed.

The Worlds Oldest Man,


The oldest man in the world is said to
be James James, a colored citizen of
the United States, who resides at Santa
Ross. Mexico. He was born near Dor
chester, 5. c., in 1852. He was one of
the laborers at Fort Moultrie during
the unsuccessful attack of the British
fleet in 1776. He was then twentv-four
years old. His master, James James.
manned one of the guns during the
fight. His last owner was Henry
James who moved into Mexico in 1858
IN order that his slaves might become
free before his death. At present the
rheumatism keeps James from walking,
but he can draw himself a short dis
lance and otherwise is in fairly good
health. Chicago Inter Ocean.

ORIENTAL HAREMS.
Liberties Enjoyed by Turkish omen ant
Their Egyptian Sisters.

Liberties Enjoyed by Turkish W omen and
Their Egyptian Sisters.
In many respects the harems of Con-
stantinople are allowed greater liberty
than those of Egypt and Persia. The
ladies of Stamboul are much addicted
to walking, whereas those of Cairo are
never seen in the streets on foot AT
the Sweet Waters the harems stray
over the meadows or picnic on the
banks of the Kiaght Khaneh stream,
with the fresh air blowing round them.
The Egyptian danes, however, can
never stir except in their carriages, and
can only view the world and their
neighbors from the windows of
brougham. The Bezestan of STEAMBOAT
is daily honored by great ladies who
think no evil of riding in the public
tram-ears between Galata and Pera
but an Egyptian harcm who attempted
to mix with the crowd in such pro-
miscuous fashion would be promptly
banned. In other ways, however, es-
pecially since the days of Ismail Pasha,
the harem of Cairo has opened its ewes
considerably to what goes on beyond
its proper ken. The wives and families
of foreign residents and travellers put
down the various high harems on
their visiting lists. and the bi-weekly
promenading on the Shoobra and Ge-
zireh avenues give the yelled ones an
opportunity Of seeing in the flesh the
personages of whom they are perpetu-
ally hearing stories and anecdotes. 1t
also gives the men II chance of having
this and that Manem pointed out to
them as they whirl past in their neat
little carriages till each gets to know
the other by sight at least tolerably
well. The opera and the afternoon
promenade are the chief excitements
OF Egyptian harem life. The Cairo
Opera House, built by the late Khe-
dive in style commensurate with the
lavish disregard of expense which
marked his reign, is fitted with dozen
boxes on the second tier, whose fronts
are framed with gauzv screen en-
aollng the occupants to watch the play
and the house, and supposed to prevent
the house from watching them. The
parking OF bright eyes and diamonds
are nevertheless apt to attract discreet
attention. and powerful glass nearly
annihilates the screen, so that the
beauties in reality come not only to
zee, but to be seen, like their Western
sisters round them. A separate en-
trance leads up to the harem boxes.
md after the fall of the curtain the
harem don their habarahs and steal
'ut 10 their carriages by back way.

TIE BASIS or VANITY.
A Defect which Frequently Poisons t"s

A pefsct which Frequently Poisons t"s
Life Of Its Possessor.
There is an odd story OF Aaron Burr.
told by Hartman Blennerhasset' the
chief Of his victims. in a journal which
he kept during Burr's trial in Rich
mond. On the day when the current
set most strongly against the prisoner
he was silent and sunk in gloom. De-
feat and death stared him in the face
He sat down to dinner with Blenner-
hasset but neither spoke during the
meal. A servant brought in note 10
Burr.
a." says Blennerhasset, "percelv-
ing the odor of musk. said; An my
friend, the perfume betrays you!' on
which Burr instantly became radiant
and smiling, confessed that the letter
contained a poem written by some lady
partisan. He then with delight told
trifling anecdotes of how he had de-
teeted the approach of his fair adher.
ents by the fashionable scent OF musk.
A shrewd critic of men in those days
said: IF it had not been for Burr
petty vanity, his ambition and intel
lectual force would have made him the
destruction of this country"
Ney, whose bravery no man could
doubt, at the supreme moment OF death
when the guns were leveled at him.

Byron, with one of the most power
full intellects of his age, was vain as a
silly schoolgirl, and, when dying
begged that his lame ankle should not
be exposed
But if personal vanity appears to be
such defect in strong nature. like
a miserable water-crack in a block OF
| spotless marble, what is it when 1t
| covers the whole surface of common
place character? 1t is the commonest
of traits in the people about us, and
on what is it basede If we could be
answered fairly as to the causes OF
vanity in our neighbors, we should lind
that one woman goes triumphant
through the world because OF straight
nose; another because she wears a
number two shoe; this man feels him
self superior to other human beings,
because his house is four feet bigger
than any other in his village, and an
other man looks down upon all of his
kind because he is Thomson (withOut
the p).
Each man has his vanity, that not
unfrequently poisons his life and drains
the strength out Of his manhood. Now
we can not probe the folly of others
bnt we can probe our own. Epictetus
used every morning to look at his
ugly, withered features and shrivelled
leg in n mirror, to teach him humility
for the day. A ploasanter task than
this, and one quite as wholesome for
each boy and girl. would be to hold VI
to view every day the beauty and ex
cellence of which he or she is vain
